The author, Marta Soniewicka, analyzes the distrust of emotions, stemming from the belief that reason and emotions are opposites. Emotions are often perceived as irrational, subjective, and unstable, while reason is associated with rationality, objectivity, and stability. This book challenges this assumption, arguing that law does not operate in a vacuum but refers to values, identity, and bonds in which feelings play a key role.

This publication is an invitation to further reflections on the role of emotions in law and an attempt at a comprehensive synthesis of reflections on understanding emotions in philosophy and the philosophy of law. The issues presented in the book are also a contribution to further philosophical reflections on the role of feelings in the moral and legal context, opening new perspectives on understanding human nature and its influence on the legal system.

The book "Emotions and the Law" is not only a theoretical analysis but also a practical guide to considering emotions in the creation and application of law. Thanks to this publication, you will understand how emotions influence our decisions and how they can be used to build a more just and empathetic society. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to explore the secrets of the human psyche and its impact on the world of law.
